A number that means the same thing everywhere. Until you change engines.
The KR is one universal currency. Within an engine KLVN places a player on the ladder from high school to the top flight by normalizing the strength of his competition into the number, not by rescaling it after, so a Division II star and a Power-conference star sit on the one scale and the level lives in the confidence. The legend anchors what a number looks like in a given room, and the same number produces differently in different rooms without ever being re-scored. But college and pro are two engines, joined only by the draft and a separate, lower-confidence projection, never by a coefficient.
The number is the same everywhere. Only the room changes.
One composite number, read in two rooms. A Division II receiver and a Power-conference receiver both carry an 84.3. The number did not move between them. The room and the confidence did.
The band describes the production, not a tier of player. The OVERALL is computed through the OPF and scheme, and cross-level placement, what that production is worth on the universal scale once level strength is accounted for, is KLVN's job. A move up a rung is a separate lower-confidence read, not a bare rescaling. Output, not the number, changes across rooms.

College and pro are two engines. The order between them can flip.
The trait library and the archetypes are written once, a quarterback judged on the same traits at Alabama and in the NFL. But the weighting, the scheme demand, the overrides, and the ladder each carry a separate College and Pro configuration. Two intake paths onto one currency.

A college 90 can project to a pro 70 while a college 88 projects to a pro 73, and the order flips. That is intended behavior of two engines that weight traits differently, not an error. The Pro anchors populate the Pro legend, the College legend reads the same archetypes at the college ceiling, and the two are joined only by the draft and the projection. One currency does not mean one engine.

The college-to-pro projection is a forecast on the other engine, not a discount on this one.
Prospect B, again. His locked college OVERALL is a present-tense fact, read through his actual college scheme and the College legend. Mode 6 does not discount it. It re-reads his traits on the other engine and forecasts a distinct, lower-confidence number with a wide band.
Mode 6 outputs a projected Pro KR with a wide, position-conditioned band, the translation decomposition, the bust-risk read, and the developmental runway, and never modifies the college OVERALL. Level and age are inputs everywhere. The bridge is a bet with its own confidence, not a factor you multiply the present by.
Illustrative on the real Mode 6 structure: the Pro-engine re-read, the wide band, the translation types, the hit-rate priors, on-demand and never co-equal. Composite prospect, demonstration figures.
A KR is one universal currency, and the level a player produced at is built into the number, not stapled on afterward as a multiplier. Within an engine KLVN normalizes the strength of his competition into the read, so a Division II star and a Power-conference star land on the one scale and the difference lives in the confidence, and a genuinely elite trait grades elite wherever it was earned because production is production and the level never caps it. The same number then produces differently in different rooms without ever being re-scored, because the room changes the output and not the truth. And across the one gate the sport actually has, college to pro, there is no coefficient at all: the two are separate engines that weight traits differently so the order between two players can flip, and the bridge between them is a distinct lower-confidence forecast run on the other engine, carried as a bet with its own band and never as a discount on the present. A number you can multiply across levels is a number that lied about the level to begin with.
One currency across every level. Two engines across the one gate.
Cross-Level Placement puts every player on the one KR scale with the level built into the number and the confidence, reads what that number means in any room, and treats the college-to-pro jump as a separate bet on the other engine, never a coefficient.
